Any advice from local conservatives for a new transplant who dresses 100% Western and is threatened frequently by the local gang bangers on the trains and busses (I guess all that "tolerance" BS does not extend to white people)?
I live in Arlington Virginia and work in Old Town Alexandria VA and am trying to find a cheap place to live. My family is in Hot Springs AR and I am just trying to find a place with no Salvadorean or black gangs controlling the buildings where I can live without roaches and threats of crime until I build up my finances to where I can move my family here.
SUGGESTIONS?

That would be nice. Had one in TX. Not an option here though. :(

I can't help you with suggestions of where to find affordable housing, but I think you will get some sincere help if you post this on Monday during 9-5 Eastern Time.
BTW, welcome to the East Coast. (I live in Maryland.)

Nope. If you can, car or vanpool.

I lived in Maryland and worked inside the Beltway for many years. I wore western boots every day I was there. Other than I wanted to get back to the Southwest every day I was there, I had no significant problems. Sorry but I can't help you with locations in VA but best of luck in whatever you are endeavoring to do.
